I think danze and i might have phrased our sentences incompletely. what i wanted to say was, compare to head heavy rackets, it's more difficult to execute deep backhand clears with even balanced rackets like 8dx. Hence why i gave the 8dx to my lil brother and sticked to sw35/volt80.

never blame the equipment? I want you to backhand clear with a 15lb tension 1961 wooden badminton racket from one side of the court to the other.

quite the contradiction here ...

If you play with a 1961 wooden racket YOU chose the wrong racket for yourself (is what I mean with "don't blame the equipment").

As your original question was if you can use it for doubles and singles: why not? You can use any racket for any event, just depends on your opponents and your strengths/weaknesses (switching rackets is playing to your opponents strengths rather than enforcing your game isn't it?). But does it even matter really if you are a recreational/social player?

It's not a contradiction, really, if you think about it thoroughly. Both rackets are still less head heavy than a head heavy racket.

Whether it matters or not, it depends on danze himself. Everyone has their own reasons for playing. You are full of sarcasm, aren't you. Lol.
